    That's my problem right now.  I won't let myself go to the fabric 
warehouses until I use some of the stuff I have right now.

    Always isn't it?

    *Very* similar.  I lived in the country just outside a town of 565 
people. And the local town had a grocery store, but we still drove the 35 
miles to the 'big' store once a month.

    That would be nice.  I've never travelled a lot.  We used to camp as a 
child, but nothing a long ways away.

    That would be awful!  I like W-M.  I know a lot of people don't but I 
think it's a nice store.
